For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. To prevent the bottom from over-browning, line the jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a fun twist, add a layer of chopped nuts (such as peanuts or pecans) between the chocolate and frosting layers.

Apr 27, 2025Next time, I'm going to try using a different type of nut butter, like almond butter or cashew butter, to see how it changes the flavor.
